Have an LG K20 Plus and I have been through all of the steps to turn off Wi-Fi calling however my phone will still display a message "Wi-Fi Calling - Open Wi-Fi Networks Available" constantly and I cannot for the life of me get it to stop. It will also prevent me from sending a text on occasion saying that there is no mobile network connected even though there are full bars. It asks me to connect to Wi-Fi to send the text but I am already connected so .......? The only solution is to turn off Wi-Fi, send the message and then connect again which is getting really annoying. Honestly though, seeing the stupid Wi-Fi calling message every time I unlock my phone is the worst. I would appreciate any help in getting this to stop, thank you.

It could be that there is a malfunction with the hardware or software that thinks you're not connected to the mobile network or you're connected to WiFi and it's just not jiving somewhere. Try going into your WiFi settings and go in to the Ellipsis three dots menu and advanced WiFi. You should see an option in there to turn off or uncheck a box that tells you whenever you are in range of open WiFi. That might alleviate the error message. Because if you're not getting mobile signal but you can connect to WiFi it will try to make a WiFi call.

It sounds to me like you have a software bug and either need to factory reset the phone and if that doesn't work then perhaps you got a bad update and if this is always been the case you may need to look at a replacement.

Thanks for trying some of the suggestions made in this thread! I'm honestly not sure why it's giving you that message while not allowing you to disable it. I haven't read any other reports of this happening. Let's try something different -- can you boot your phone up in Safe Mode and see if you get the same message?

So I have rebooted the phone in Safe Mode, and the message is not there right now as of the restart. Restarting the phone however also makes the message go away for a little while, so I'm not sure if this fixed it or not. I will leave it in safe mode for the remainder of the night and update tomorrow morning.

Safe mode just boots the phone with stock applications. If you want full functionality of the device you will need to take it out of safe mode and uninstall any troublesome apps till the problem resolves itself. You could also just do a factory reset which is basically what safe mode acts like.

So after around 24 hours the message is still not popping up. That leads me to think that it is one of the apps installed that is causing it. Is there any way to rule out apps other than uninstalling them one by one? I would like to avoid having to do a factory reset as we all know that is a pain in the neck.

Well personally I would try to remember when you started having the issue and uninstall apps that you installed around that time frame. The factory reset was just easier since you could install one app at a time until the problem comes back. It would also give your phone a clean slate which could help in other regards.

Ah, perfect! I'm so happy to hear that. I'm going to go ahead and mark this thread as resolved. If for some reason you start seeing the WiFi calling error message again, please make sure to post on this thread so we can try some other options.

Well that lasted a week. The message and symptom have returned. I am deleting all non essential apps today and see if that changes it. If not I guess a full factory reset might be the next step right? (as much as a pain that will be)
